The trends seen on luxury sneakers in 2005 and 2006 are making a comeback in the contemporary with RtA‘s latest kicks. Muting casual looks in favor of more dressy aesthetics for its first foray into sneakers, the imprint sought to design a silhouette that would complement a wearer’s own collection — with a tinge of LA vibes.

The mid-top chukka is available in two iterations, both versatile enough to be styled up or down. Utilizing a range of luxe materials, the basis of the model’s upper intermingles patent and velour calf leather alongside mesh. On the translucent sole iteration, black patent is used for the accent trimming. On its counterpart, which features a matte white sole, the material is switched for Vitello leather. Finishing touches include an embossed logo on the tongue along with grosgrain rayon heel is affixed in place with the brand’s “t” insignia.

To find out more about the new additions to RtA’s world, head over to the brand’s website. You can also find the sneakers at Maxfields, Barneys, Mr. Porter and all RtA Retail locations.
